How did Grandparent’s Day start?

Marian McQuade of West Virginia worked for years to have a special day dedicated to honor grandparents. Her tenacity finally paid off and the first Grandparents Day was proclaimed in 1973 in West Virginia by Governor Arch Moore. In 1978, five years after its West Virginia inception, the United States Congress passed legislation proclaiming the first Sunday after Labor Day as National Grandparents Day. Today this event is observed by millions throughout the United States which means grandparents nationwide are receiving gifts and feeling the love!
